Bostrichoidea Genera
Bostrichoidea is a superfamily of beetles. It is the type superfamily of the infraorder Bostrichiformia. Description The Bostrichoidea are united by the following features: modified cryptonephridism, the structure of the aedeagus in males, and the lack of a basal mandibular mola in larvae. Aside from this, Bostrichoidea show a range of morphologies. For example, in Bostrichidae alone, the adult body shape varies from convex to flattened, the body length from , and the colour may be yellow, brown or black and sometimes has a metallic hue. Ecology Bostrichoids generally live in dry habitats. For example, many Bostrichidae feed on wood, though some attack monocotyledonous plants as well and ''Rhyzopertha dominica'' feeds on stored grains and cereal products. Similarly, most Ptinidae are wood-borers as larvae but some feed on other dry plant or animal material, such as stored foods, tobacco and museum specimens. Dermestidae are typically scavengers on dried organic matter wit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Varied Carpet Beetle
The varied carpet beetle (''Anthrenus verbasci'') is a 3 mm-long beetle belonging to the family Dermestidae, positioned in subgenus Nathrenus. They are a common species, often considered a pest of domestic houses and, particularly, natural history museums, where the larvae may damage natural fibers and can damage carpets, furniture, clothing, and insect collections. ''A. verbasci'' was also the first insect to be shown to have an annual Chronobiology, behavioral rhythm and remains a classic example of Circannual Cycle, circannual cycles in animals. Description Adult ''A. verbasci'' range in length from . The body is rounded, almost spherical. The elytron, elytra and pronotum are covered in fine scales of different colours, creating an irregular pattern of white, brownish and yellowish patches on these features. The white scales are focussed along the lateral margins of the pronotum and on the elytra, where they form three bright, wavy transverse bands. In addition to these ...

Anobiinae
Anobiinae is the subfamily of death-watch beetles in the family Ptinidae, with at least 45 genera. It was formerly considered a member of the family Anobiidae, but its family name has since been changed to Ptinidae. The larvae of a number of species tend to bore into wood, earning them the name "woodworm" or "wood borer". A few species, such as the common furniture beetle, ''Anobium punctatum'', are pests, causing damage to wooden furniture and house structures. Genera These 46 genera belong to the subfamily Anobiinae: * ''Actenobius'' Fall, 1905 * ''Allobregmus'' Español, 1970 * ''Anobichnium'' Linck, 1949 * ''Anobiopsis'' Fall, 1905 * ''Anobium'' Fabricius, 1775 * ''Anomodesmina'' Español, 1991 * ''Australanobium'' Español, 1976 * ''Belemia (beetle), Belemia'' Español, 1984 * ''Cacotemnus'' LeConte, 1861 * ''Colposternus'' Fall, 1905 * ''Ctenobium'' LeConte, 1865 * ''Desmatogaster'' Knutson, 1963 * ''Endroedyina'' Español et Comas, 1991 * ''Euceratocerus'' LeConte, 1874 ...

Ptinidae
Ptinidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Bostrichoidea. There are at least 220 genera and 2,200 described species in Ptinidae worldwide. The family includes spider beetles and deathwatch beetle, as well as the Cigarette beetle, cigarette, Drugstore beetle, drugstore and Common furniture beetle, furniture beetles. The Ptinidae family species are hard to identify because they are so small, and they have a compact body structure. They also have similar morphologies within the genera and species of the family. There are three main groups in the superfamily Bostrichoidea: Bostrichidae, Anobiidae, and Ptinidae. These have undergone frequent changes in hierarchical classification since their inception. They have been treated as a single family, three independent families, the two families Bostrichidae and Anobiidae, or the two families Bostrichidae and Ptinidae. More recent literature treats these as the two families Bostrichidae and Ptinidae, with Anobiidae a subfamily of P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Endecatomidae
''Endecatomus'' is a genus of beetles, the sole member of the family Endecatomidae. There are at least four described species in ''Endecatomus''. Endecatomidae was formerly treated as a subfamily of Ciidae or Bostrichidae. They are found in the Holarctic realm, Holarctic region. Adults and larvae feed on the fruiting bodies of Polypore, bracket fungus, creating bored cavities as they do so.Lawrence, John F.. "6.2. Endecatomidae LeConte, 1861".
